Server Management Console - Overview

All workflow information is centrally stored on the server. Workflow execution reporting is also centralized so administrators can easily monitor real-time events and quickly react to any exceptions. The Server Management Console is the main interface you will use to interact with the server component. It provides management and administration of all automated business processes in distributed networks and supplies tools for deploying, connecting, and controlling agents responsible for workflow execution. You can also use the Server Management Console for managing the Repository and all Automate objects (for example, agents, workflows, tasks, etc.) that it contains.

For added protection, the Server Management Console features an intuitive permissions system where administrators can dictate the level of permission each user can acquire by way of user-based roles, or determine the level of security individual tasks, workflows, conditions, or other objects may possess. For instance, you can allow certain users or user groups to build, edit, or delete workflows and tasks but not manually execute them. While other users and user groups can view and execute workflows and tasks but cannot edit or delete them.

Server Management Console sections

The Server Management Console contains the following sections (also known as panels or windowpanes):

Section	Description
Main Panel	The main panel is the area of the interface where you will perform most Server Management Console-related operations. This section contains graphical icons and visual indicators representing the Automate objects available.
Navigation Bar	The navigation bar provides access to the Welcome, Repository, System, Reports, and Options sections of the Server Management Console.
Output/Execution Status Panel	The Output/Execution Status panel supplies real-time information pertaining to workflows, tasks, processes, and conditions during their execution. This section usually furnishes the best indication of when, where, and why a workflow failed.
Side Panel	The side panel provides access to objects, settings, options, and properties that correspond to the Repository, System, Reports, and Options sections.
Status Bar	The Status bar displays the Management Server's connection status, shows/hides the side panel and/or the Output/Execution Status panel, and provides access to toggle Global Triggering on or off.
